4{x}=x+[x]


4(x-[x])=x+[x]


4x-4[x]=x+[x]


3x=5[x]


valid only for 0,5/3

if we substitute -5/3 for x then also the equation gets satisfied.....

3x=5[x]
substitute -5/3 in L.H.S
= 3(-5/3)
=-5
Substitute -5/3 in R.H.S
=5 [ -5/3 ]
=5 [ -1.666...]
=5(-2)
=-10
It doesn't satisfy.

[-x]=-[x]-1


so when -5/3 is substituted you will not get the answer.
